Outdated Solutions

Existing models use flawed assumptions and are inaccurate, leading to suboptimal traffic signal timing. Very few solutions are validated to work under ever-changing traffic flow.

Flawed Timing Plan Models

Most systems use analog architectures, which rely on cycle-based systems. Cycles allow only the use of preset times, leading to transition hell when you need multiple changes in a short period of time.

Lack of Time & Resources

Traffic professionals don’t have the time or resources to continually synchronize traffic signals. They have to constantly deal with changing traffic patterns, special events and maintenance with a limited budget and limited team.

Rhythm’s market leading In|Sync adaptive system has succeeded in contributing to Albuquerque’s ‘Alameda Boulevard Adaptive Signal Project’. Bernalillo County spokeswoman, Catherine Lopez, commented that commuters arrival to their destination has been reduced by 5 to 6 minutes on average, in each direction (30% reduction in the morning and 50% reduction in the evening travel time). This is the “phase two” deployment of In|Sync on their most intensive traffic corridor, which sees 44,000 vehicles pass through

Q: Why do the traffic signals at Fifth Avenue Northwest and the Meridian/Second Street couplet in Puyallup seem so out of synch? – Janet W., Puyallup A: First, let us set the scene. The main north-south drag through the heart of Puyallup is the Meridian/Second Street couplet. Meridian is one-way southbound. Second Street (and sometimes

A new automated traffic-signal optimization system on Point Loma’s Rosecrans Street was officially dedicated March 24 by Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Peninsula leaders. Faulconer said the city’s “made a concentrated push in the last few years to use techology to become a smarter city trying to use that technology to provide better service to customers
